Yes. Prayers work. Also, God works in mysterious ways,. Even if you experience several hardships, even if you have lots of problems that can really hurt you, make you cry and even doubt whether there is a God or not.. Believe me, there really is. It's our faith that matters. We have to believe in God and continue to have faith in him. I have experienced having several problems such as depression and really hitting rock bottom. I thought I can't make it through.. But I decided to seek some help from religious people.. they really helped me to pray to God that I will be okay.. and it did work. Just have faith. Best of luck to you! God bless you always.

God does not need your prayers. You pray for yourself. Pray make you satisfy. pray is a source of two way communication with God. As a Muslims we pray him at start and he replies in form of recitation of Imaam.Then we bend ourselve and again start to pray him. We are responsible about our all gain and losses. God has shouldered us all of the responsiblities. We should perform our duties to gain the fruit. But we expect that every thing will do the God. No, It is not correct way. Work hard to reach on a distination and pray him to help you. Remember that God helps those, who help themselve.

Hello there. You are not alone. There are many times when I feel the same way too. But I always remind myself, we are not born into this world to have it easy. Those trials and tribulations we go through will only make us stronger. I always remind myself of FootPrints. In tough times of our lives, when we only see one set of footprints, that is when God is carrying us. =D

I'm answering differant because i am not a christian. I believe a prayer could work if you put your energy into it. Follow your heart through your life and not what man tell you Only your heart knows you and your heart never lies. If you are losing heart in a religion than look back and study it and yourself in your eyes and heart and dont let someone else like a preacher or onesided people tell you how to think. Go yoru way in life and God (im talking in the since of the christian god here) cant turn you away b/c you followed the heart and brains that he gave you. Even the bible was by man so remember that and you will get your full Enlightnement and if you want something to realy happend yes pray if you want but put all your energy and work into getting the result to what you want. You chose.

there are so many religions out there because so many people are differant like stated above you and only you knows what your heart wants. follow it study works of other religions, polisiphys and whatever if you want. Nature is a good guide and so is your heart. May you find your calling and peace within Blessed Be

Prayers work..it's like this..when you ask God for something, He just have 3 answers to your prayer. 1. Yes 2. No 3. Wait...so maybe it's not the right time yet for that particular thing you've asked for...just trust in Him that He's only thinking what is best for you..He knows what's good for us..if it's really for us, then we just have to wait til that right time..patience is a key to most things..Dont lose hope..and dont doubt Him ever..He knows what's in our hearts all the time..just keep on thinking that things will come into place IN HIS OWN TIME and NOT OURS....keep worshipping.. ;p

Don't think that God does not hear. He does, it's just that He does work they way we think. He has His own ways. He will act on His own time. Be assured of one thing He will not do anything to harm you. All He does is for our own good. He does not create problems, it is us who creates problems. it is also us who created so many religion. Because He is not an authoritative God, He lets us decide for ourselves and He will not impose His will on us, He gave us free will. That created all the problems that we have now. It's all because of our choices.

I believe God always listens and answers our prayer. Sometimes God's answer is different from what we want, so we think He does not answer our prayer. But actually He does, and He knows what is best for us, that's why He has different answer for our prayer. I don't believe that our problems or missery are caused by God. It might be caused by us or evil. However, God works in everything, even in our trouble, for the goodness of us who love Him.

You can pray togod for others and even for your self, you will get result now or later.God always return with intrest if you pray by heart.let god to do his work. He will punish guilty and save innocent. God is always here, keep eyes on every thing. Gods limit starts where our limit ends.see all religions are based on nature of work what individuals doing at that time.all problems in the world are created by human beings for individual intrest.If we keep praying good regularly in good time we will not face much problem thats what i believe.

All of us believe in the existence of GOD. Paying to GOD is not only about asking GOD.. but its also about thanking and praising HIM. My Friend dont get yourself disturbed with all the doubts. Have faith. God didn't create the religion.. but man created them. God didn't create problems but we men creates them. If ever there is no problem.. maybe you and i may not know the existence of GOD. God has HIS plans to all of us. Keep your prayers alive... i have prayed and ask GOD many things.. and HE answered my prayers.

GOD hears your prayers, and HE answers them too! It may not be the answer that you are hoping for, but it is there. GOD did not create different religions, MAN did. GOD gave man the right to choose his beliefs and make his own decisions. Keep your faith, for GOD loves all of his children!

God assures as of answered prayers. Yes, if it's God's will, not yet when it's not the right time and no, because God has a better answer to your prayer. Who should be blamed for all the problems of this world? It's not God, It's the person you see in the mirror and it's a collective fault. God does not create problems but He has all the answers.

My dear friend, prayer works, and God answer all prayers..Most times when it seems God is not their is cos he has special plans for us, our ways are not Gods way.. He alone knows the best. If tribulation dont come, I dont think we will know anything about faith and also Gods word for us. God allows problems to come so we can draw close to him. Like he said draw closer to me and I will come closer to you. We need to make that first move, thats why he allows problem and also test our faith and our believe. God is always there, for he is the same yesterday, today and forever
